The Jayhawks defeated the fighting Irish 70-60 in Allen Field House. The Kansas Jayhawks had just fought their way past Notre Dame 70-60 in Allen Field House yesterday. Kansas coach Larry Brown sat in the press room in Parrott Athletic Center, looking for the words to describe the game and Danny Manning. By ROB KNAPP Staff writer "That's the most satisfying win I've had with this group of kids," Brown said. "I know I said that after the K-State game." He had, but no one had reason to doubt his sincerity. Kansas, without the services of starter Cedric Hunter and Keith Harris, overcame a fivepoint Notre Dame lead in the last 10 minutes and won its eight consecutive game. Kansas 70 Notre Dame 60 The Jayhawks are 18-5 and 7-1 in the Big Eight Conference.

Men's Basketball Manning tore the Fighting Irish defense apart, scoring a career-high 40 points. He hit 16 of 21 field-attempts, giving him a 71.7 percent shooting average over his last 10 games. "I've been with some really great players, but when you consider the shots he made and the way he played," Brown said, "he was phenomenal." I didn't mean to get my technical. He (the referee) doesn't know I stomp my foot.' Larry Brown Kansas head coach Notre Dame coach Digger Phelps agreed, "Once he got the ball, whether outside or inside, he was going to score." Phelps said. For awhile, though, it seemed that even Manning's heroes would not save Kansas and its 45-game home-court winning streak. The Fighting Irish, who dropped to 13-7, led at several points in the game and kept the contest tight until the final moments. Notre Dame took its biggest lead with 9:56 left after Brown protested to an official too vigorously and drew a technical foul. "I didn't mean to get my techni- cal," Brown said. "He doesn't know I like." David Rivers sank both free throws and gave the Irish a 47-42 lead. Then the Kansas defense stiffened, and the Jayhawks climbed back into the lead when Kevin Pritchard stole the ball. He ran into Steven Stevenson and went in for a layup. The Irish tied the game for the final time with 3:07 left when Stevenson drove for a layup and was fouled by the Jayhawks' Chris Piper. Stevenson sank the bonus shot, tying the game at 55. On KU's next possession, Notre Dame's Gary Voce fouled Manning, who hit both ends of a one-and-one opportunity and regained the lead for the 'Hawks. Stevenson then missed from outside and Manning kicked the ball out to Mark Turgeon, who fed Jeff Gueldner for a lavup Turgeon killed the final Irish rally. Notre Dame guard Dai Rivers brought the ball down with 45 seconds left and the Irish down by three, but Turgeon drew a charging foul as Rivers tried to drive the lane. Turgeon stayed on Rivers most of the game and held him to only 13 points, seven of them from the free-throw line. Turgeon started in the place of Hunter, who missed his first starting assignment in 76 games after suffering a badly sprained ankle against the Warriors. He had a task of guarding Rivers, a preseason pick for several All-America teams. "I never really felt tired," Turgeon said. "No time to feel tired. It was too tough." The injuries to Hunter and Harris, who sat out with a sprained ankle also, forced other Jayhawks to step into more prominent roles. Gueldner hit all three of his shots from the field and scored a career-high seven points. "Guelder was the big factor," Brown said. "He had to take over for Harris, and he did a great job." The Jayhawks inside play was supplemented by reserves Mark Randall and Sean Alvarado. Piper sat out part of the second half with four fouls and eventually fouled out. The field house crowd played an important part in the game as well. "Our fans kept us in the game," he said. "They kept us pummed." Before yesterday's 40-point performance, Manning's previous scoring high was 35 points at Oklahoma State in the 1984-85 season. His total was the most points scored in one game by a Jayhawk since John Douglas hit 46 against Iowa State during the 1976-77 season. West wins showcase of NBA stars United Press International SEATTLE — Seattle Supersonic Tom Chambers scored 34 points before his hometown fans to become the most valuable player yesterday and lead the West to a 154-149 victory over the East in the NBA All-Star Game. The game entered overtime when But Chambers was the unlikely hero. Chambers, named to the AllStar team after Houston's Ralph Sampson was injured, became the first hometown player to win the MVP award since the Lakers' Jerry Rolando Blackman weathered teasing from Isiah Thomas and sank two free throws with no time left on the clock. Bird, Jordan shine West won it in Los Angeles in 1972. The United Press International ' SEATTLE — In pre-NBA All-Star game festivities Saturday, Larry Bird displayed his long-range shooting touch and won the three-point shooting contest and Michael Jordan his creative genius, winning the slam-dunk competition. Bird, the Boston Celtic's three-time Baird Most Valuable Player, won his second consecutive three-point shooting contest and Jordan captured the dunk competition. Also on Saturday at the Center Seattle Coliseum, Freddie Brown scored 16 points and led the West old-timer to a 54-43 triumph over the East in the Legends Classic. Blackman, who finished with 29 points, was fouled by Thomas with no time left in the game. His free throws tied the score 140-140. The Dallas Mavericks' guard, standing alone at the line because time had expired, received good-natured teasing by Thomas, who was standing near midcourt trying to make Blackman miss. Jordan, the league's leading scorer with a 37 points per game average, defeated Jerome Kersey of the Portland Trail Blazers 146-140. Jordan, of the Chicago Bulls, becomes the second straight guard to win the event. Spud Webb, out for the season with a knee injury, won last year. The Atlanta guard was on hand Saturday in a suit and tie to watch the passing of his title. Blackman previously had lost a chance to give the West the lead with 24 seconds left in the game when he missed the second of two free throw attempts. The miss left the score tied at 138-138. key basket in the extra period came on a dunk by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar of the Lakers for a 150-146 lead with 2:46 left. Moses Malone of Washington, who finished with 27 points and 18 rebounds, gave the East a 140-138 lead with a tip-in of a miss by Boston's Kevin McHale. Three seconds then called time out and got the ball to Blackman, who was fouled with no time left. Worstly finished with 22 points for the West, while Johnson led all players with nine assists. Malone scored 27 points and had a game-high of 18 rebounds and Larry Bird of the team finished with 18 points for the East. In overtime, Blackman opened the scoring, and James Worthy of the Lakers followed with another basket to give the West a 144-140 lead. The "It's what I expected," Blackman said of the taunting by Thomas. "It's what I've been through before. I've come to college. I've dropped up in before." "I can handle it. A lot of guys say they love to be in that situation. I can handle free throws or hit the jumper, and I will meet you love to be in that situation." Thomas said, "I said anything that came into my head. I said, 'Miss the shot, sissy, punk, choke, choke, choke —' anything." Erving, who is retiring after the season, received a standing ovation at the start of the game by the 34,275 fans at the Seattle Kingdome.

But in one week alone, the Jayhawks suffered five injuries ranging from cosmetic to temporarily debilitating. The only player in any danger of missing Wednesday's game at Missouri appears to be starting guard Cedric Hunter. Hunter was hurt in the Oklahoma State game when he came down wrong on his left ankle, the same one he injured earlier in the season. He did not suit up for yesterday's game with Notre Dame. Mark Cairns, assistant athletic trainer, said yesterday that Hunter had a moderate ankle sprain. The ankle will be X-rayed today, but doctors do not expect to find a fracture. Hunter's condition for the Missouri game is questionable. The week's injury woes began early in the Louisville game Jan. 31 when Pervis Ellison elbowed starting Kansas center Mark Pellock in the face. The blow broke Pellock's nose, and he sat out the rest of the game. The Jayhawks escaped Manhattan unscathed, but their Friday practice was a killer. After Saturday's game, Manning denied rumors that he was simply trying to imitate Missouri's Derrick Chievous. In Friday's practice, Keith Harris suffered a sprained ankle that was serious enough to keep him out of the weekend's games. Pellock hit forward Danny Manning with an elbow during practice, opening a cut on Manning's chin. The cut did not require stitches, but Manning wore a bandage over it for the Oklahoma State and Notre Dame games. Pellock returned for Wednesday night's game at Kansas State and played without the type of protective mask that Oklahoma's Darryl Kennedy wore when he suffered a similar injury. Both Harris and Pritchard are listed as probable for the Missouri game. Cairns said Cloud County beats Kansas junior varsity By a Kansan reporter Kansas' junior varsity basketball team suffered a 82-62 loss to Cloud County Community College yester- day at Field House dropping its record to 16-7. Coach R.C. Buford said that the team did not play poorly but that Cloud County, whose record is now 20-4, just had a better team last night. "The they had great shooters and great athletes, and we are limited." Buford said. "We just have to play with them and hope that we can come through." Cloud County took a 38-31 halftime lead over the Jayhawks after Dobbs made two quick three-pointers before the end of the half. The game had been even throughout most of the first half. Cloud County's Brad Dobbels scored a game-high 28 points and made seven of nine three-point attempts. The Jayhawks were sluggish early in the second half and a Cloud County rally put the visitors ahead 46-34 with 16 minutes left in the game. Kansas center Rusty Hymer scored a team-high 18 points and grabbed a team-high six rebounds. Scott Scheirmay of Cloud County grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds.
